Noah Vonleh has the potential to be a game changer for the Portland Trail Blazers, which seems odd to say since he was traded by the team that drafted him&#8212;the Charlotte Hornets&#8212;after just one season in the NBA.

If nothing else, this offseason has guaranteed that next year&#039;s team will be very different from last year&#039;s team. The question is: is this change good for the Charlotte Hornets?
